Automatic guid for Objection.js

This plugin adds an automatic guid to your Objection.js models using the uuid package for guid generation.

Installation

npm i objection-guid

Yarn

yarn add objection-guid

Usage

Generate guid

// Import the plugin.
const guid = require('objection-guid')();
const Model = require('objection').Model;

// Mixin the plugin.
class Item extends guid(Model) {
  static get tableName() {
    return 'Item';

  name: 'foo'
});

console.log(item.id);

Custom values

If your model already has a value for the configured field, the value is not overwritten.

Options

field: Overrides the default field name of the generated guid. (Default: id)

generateGuid: Overrides the default function that generates a guid. This function can be a promise. (Default: generates UUIDs v4)

These options can be provided when instantiating the plugin:

const guid = require('objection-guid')({
  field: 'foo',
  generateGuid: () => 'bar'
});
